Hi David ... There are two types of switches commonly available. One
is a small plastic box with a metal ball inside ... when it rolls in
one direction it touches two contacts and closes the circuit ... tilt
it the other direction and the ball rolls away from the contacts. The
other type has a bead of mercury in a glass enclosure and works the
same way.
Have fun,
